After coming together as an intergalactic superhero team in the previous origin story, Peter "StarLord" Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) are back to save the universe again, but on a more personal level. Now an adult, Peter has had to reconcile his unusual upbringing and the fact that he's put together his own little family - er, gang - of thieves who are now known as the Guardians of the Galaxy because they saved it all in a big adventure. The film develops each character even further, so be sure to pay attention to the challenges each character must face, either externally or within themselves.

With films like GOTG, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Ant-Man, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange, Marvel has earned more than $1.17 billion in combined profits.

The dialogue makes for a hilariously good time when it wants to, but struggles in finding a balance between crude bathroom humor and serious moments meant to build relationships between characters. Nebula needs redemption too, she was little more than a glowering villain in the first movie.
